Steering and chassis components of any car are among the details that are responsible for safety on the roads. Components of the steering, which include the axial joint, at all stages of design, fabrication and installation are subject to special care performance.
They must ensure 100 per cent driving safety for passengers and driver in all situations on the road, which can occur with or without influence of the driver. Together with the part in the form of a rod axial joint connects components of the steering gear of any vehicle. Sliding surfaces of the axis ring and the ring of the axial joint housing together with the axis of the bearing form an angle.

Therefore, they are mainly used for axial loads, but within certain limits may be used also for combined loads. Rings of the axial joints are made of chrome steel, hardened and polished. Plastic coating of the axial joint slipping area is reinforced with a glass fibre and applied by injection directly into the housing-ring. The slipping area of the axis ring is chrome-plated with hard chrome and coated with lithium grease. The joints are detachable and this allows you to mount their components separately.

The range of possible operating temperatures of axial joints should be from 40 degrees below zero to 75 degrees above zero. However, during the limited time they are able to operate at temperatures up to 110 degrees above zero.
